But Will Greens Fees Go Up?

Golf is a colossal waste of time.

It is not, nor should it ever be considered a sport. It is an activity, and for most a leisurely one. Except for some poor sap who failed to drive his cart as straight as his tee shots.

His golf cart plunged 75 feet off a cliff, crashing onto a road below.

That was after it went off the concrete parkway and went down a 25 foot embankment. Unlike the incompetent story-jockeys covering the Attorney General proceedings, there's no lack of detailed information on this story. Like how he was ejected from the cart before impact. And how he surprisingly died on impact. Or that they were on the second hole. While drugs and alcohol are not being treated as factors, the cart will be checked for mechanical failures, although the primary one will be that it did not sprout wings and fly him to safety.

It's been a while since I've been in a golf cart to show the guys from Jackass how to do stunts, but last I remember they're no longer enclosed like Sherman tanks. Of course jumping out of a golf cart going 15 mph is a near impossible task. Especially if it would save your life. But hey, now there's less of a wait for that par 4!
